Unveiling the Short-Lived Metabolic Benefits of Gastric Bypass Surgery

A new study conducted by Lund University in Sweden raises questions about the long-term efficacy of gastric bypass surgery. The study found that while many patients experience initial weight loss and diabetes remission, the most significant metabolic changes occur immediately after the surgery, with many metabolic markers returning to pre-surgery levels within a year. The study suggests that the positive effects on metabolism may not be as long-lasting as previously believed, highlighting the need for further research in this area.

Misdiagnosed: Ovarian Cysts and Cancer Mistaken for Other Health Issues

A woman in Ohio who couldn't lose weight despite dieting and exercising has revealed the surprising diagnosis curbing her fat loss. Jess Cisco, who weighed 245lbs at her peak, spent 12 months swapping burgers and pizza for chicken, cottage cheese and evenings at the gym — but couldn't lose a single pound. Convinced that something was wrong, she was referred for hospital scans which revealed the 32-year-old had multiple cysts on her ovaries. The pus-filled sacs can cause weight gain by releasing extra estrogen, the female sex hormone that boosts appetite and promotes the accumulation of more fat cells. But despite her condition, Ms Cisco has lost more than 100lbs after gastric bypass surgery.

Revolutionizing Weight Loss: The Rise of Effective and Safe Drugs.

Researchers have developed a new class of peptides that could provide the benefits of gastric bypass surgery without the need for invasive procedures. These peptides contributed to significant weight loss and reduced blood glucose levels in rat models of obesity. The injectable compounds avoid the side effects of nausea and vomiting commonly experienced with current weight loss and diabetes drugs, and reduce eating while also increasing calorie burn. The researchers suggest that this may be due to GEP44 activating multiple receptors, which could prevent the intracellular signaling pathway that causes these symptoms.
